Marco and Drew stacked boxes on a shelf. Marco lifted 9 boxes and Drew lifted 14 boxes. The boxes that Drew lifted each weighed 8 lb less than the boxes Marco lifted. Which expression represents the total number of pounds Drew lifted? Let m represent the weight of the boxes that Marco lifted.
a. m − 8
b. 14(m − 8)
c. 9(m+8)
d. 112m

Respuesta :

b. 14(m − 8)

m is how much drew's box weighed.

You have to subtract it by 8 because marco's boxs are 8 pounds less.

Then, since maro carried 14 boxes you multiply that by 14.
